Re: No low end power
The big tires look great on a cart, but if it is electric with a stock motor, you WILL lose torque. Torque is FOOT pounds and the farther from the center of the hub to the road you go, you lose foot pounds. That's why shade tree mechanics put a pipe on a wrench to get more leverage. (foot pounds.) Diesels have more torque and that is why they use them to turn the large tires. A 210 hp cummings has about the same torque as a fuel injected 454 race engine.
Fix is go back to standard tires or an electric motor with more torque.
